Webinars:
DCA’s webinars are open to participants from any area of the Los Angeles region. First-time applicants and applicants whose proposal will be drafted by staff members new to or unfamiliar with the DCA Grants program are especially encouraged to register for our new applicant webinar. DCA’s guidelines, application forms, and instructions are adjusted each year and therefore, returning applicants are highly encouraged to attend a webinar in order to refresh knowledge and consider new adjustments. Each webinar/workshop will be 60 to 90 minutes long, covering the FY 2025-26 DCA Cultural Grant Program guidelines and application process.
Training webinars are limited to 30 participants per session. New Applicant webinars are limited to 10 participants per session. Anyone wishing to participate in a workshop is required to RSVP at least two business days beforehand. Those who RSVP will receive a confirmation email with login/access information for the workshop. If spaces are filled we ask you to enroll in a later session. Sessions are recorded and available for all who wish/need to learn independently.
It is highly recommended that returning and new applicants and new employees at returning organizations (called City vendors), attend our new applicant webinars in order to avoid common mistakes and to improve clarity and strategy within their proposals
